Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 739
Hearing Valeria’s words, a smile spread across Agnes‘ face, and she decided not to elaborate.
When Agnes returned to Jared’s office, Jared had just finished eating.
Agnes was slightly startled, “You actually finished all the food.”
Indeed, Jared had cleared his plate. He even finished the last drop of the clam chowder.
Agnes approached him, ‘Aren’t you full?” She remembered making a considerable amount.
Jared replied, “If my wife cooks, of course, I can’t waste it.”
Agnes didn’t expect Jared to be so endearingly silly.
Jared changed the subject, “What did Valeria chat with you about?”
Agnes teased, “Ms. Thomas said she has a crush on you, she wants to compete fairly with me.”
Jared laughed off, totally unbothered, ‘Impossible, I think she said the exact opposite. She probably explained to you again
because she didn’t want you to misunderstand”
Jared knew Valeria quite well.
Agnes chuckled, “Yes.” Then she sat down and asked seriously, “I’ve always wanted to ask you something”
Jared gave her a look, “What is it?”
“Why don’t you like Valeria? She’s so outstanding You have so many interactions through business, you work together. Hasn’t
any spark of love ignited?”
Jared snorted coldly, “Agnes, do you know that because you left without saying goodbye, you destroyed my perception of love?
For these four years. all i thought about was how I would find you and torture you, returning the pain you gave me tenfold.”
Agnes grinned. Then why haven’t you tortured me now?”
Jared sighed, seemingly powerless, I can’t bear it.”

The words “can’t bear it were like a jar of honey, warming and sweetening her heart.
Even though she hadn’t seen Jared for four years, and she always felt that they were separated by mountains and rivers,
insurmountable. But somehow, in just a few days, Century Entertainment seemed to have returned to the past.
Agnes felt extremely fortunate.
That evening, Jared took Agnes and Nocturne back to the Whitfield Manor. Agnes was inevitably nervous.
At four in the afternoon, Nocturne had already woken up.
After eating something, they went to the Whitfield Manor together.
Earlier, she had heard Jared call home, and she heard Tim’s voice firmly saying he didn’t want to see her. But no matter what,
this was something Agnes had to face
At the Whitfield Manor, Tim sat in his study. Holding a photo in his hand, he looked at it carefully. A rare amiable smile appeared
on his face.
At this time, Alyssa Whitfield came in, and Tim calmly put the photo away.
Alyssa’s gaze flickered, “Dad, Jared and her will be back soon.”
Tim’s voice was cold and ruthless, “I won’t let that woman in. If Jared really wants to remarry her, tell him to never come back
Alyssa approached. “Dad, let it go. Don’t you really like that child? If they really get together, you can see that child often.”
Tim’s face changed, “Who said I like that child, I will not admit it.”
“What is the photo in your hand?”
Tim claimed. This is a photo of Jared when he was a child, not that kid
Alyssa walked over, stood beside Tim, and took the photo from his hand, “This is clearly a photo of that child. Last time, you
refused to see the child and asked the butler to secretly take a picture.”
Finally, Tim exhaled, “I just think that child looks adorable, but I don’t really like him”
